The advert for a soap satchet (Persil?) where the Lady appears to be having it off with the help. Making light of adultery!?
I think she's supposed to be Lady Chatterley, (or someone similar but different enough not to invoke copyright issues).

Just saw both the Gtech lawnmower AND vacuum ads in ONE break. PISS OFF ALREADY!
LOL! I literally cannot put into WORDS how much I utterly detest those ads and that cretinous creature that does them... 'two hundred and ninety nine paaaaaaaaaaaaaands!' NO! JUST NO! Somebody kill him please!

The new ad that I hate hate hate, I have only seen 3 times, but I already loathe it. It's an ad begging for money for cancer research, and I always see it at tea-time. It has this 60-something woman on it and she's sitting in a chair with hubby by her side awaiting her chemotherapy. Blatherings go on about how people are always anxious on their first go... blah blah blah...... Then you see the stuff going into her arm (yuk) and she looks at her husband and says 'I love you; thank you for being here.' *barf*

I just hate it. Can't even explain why.

Personally I tell people to get a credit card and once or twice a year only make the minimum payment (even if you can afford to pay off the bill for the month) or get a small personal loan and keep up repayment. Both of these will help build up a credit history that financial organisation can use to judge the likelyhood of late-payment or default, which is our biggest fear and why those with no credit history get less than generous deals as we have no proof of credit worthiness.
I wouldn't want to get stung for unnecessary interest, though - surely looks worse not to pay it off?. I take your point about the last bit, though.

Why should anyone have to pay to see information about themselves anyway the information should be free.
Just cancel in time

And now he's selling a bike. It never ends....

And how is just an hour enough to vacuum the whole house? Seems to take forever, normally! Or maybe it just feels that way.

And who has white furniture when they have a dark-coloured dog?

but at least it is showing support, as the cancer ads for women always do, "Have coffee morning girls" what about the men, male many cancer patients are home during the day, I know that I am, "Run for life", no men shown there, I think that it is safe to say that ALL cancer ads showing women are supportive, as they should be, but only one is semi supportive, the Macmillan ad "Cancer is a lonely place" while the prostate ad is just embarrassing, demeaning and puerile

3 have a new advert with that muppet and wil.i.am.
Very dull but at least they've decided to stick with the muppet not singing.

I loathe every burger advert. They always show some twerp sitting down, holding the ruddy burger in both hands and either gazing upon it with deep love or grinning like a simpleton in anticipation of the glorious culinary experience to come. Bollox!

Then presumably you have that little bit of extra love for the 'new york' style one where instead of a normal bun they use one of those ones with a hole in the middle. And they probably charge more for the privilege too! I don't frequent the establishment of the gilt-encrusted stylised 'm' so I don't know if they go so far as to have removed the middle of the burger that's in it but that wouldn't surprise me in the slightest, and yes I would expect a proportional increase in price with every decrease in weight...

I just had to quote this post. Out of all the ads in all the world I hate this one the most. That woman gets on my t*ts soooo much I can't bare it. My husband knows how I feel about her and the adverts so now he pretends he fancies her just to wind me up some more *grrrrr*
I always want to hi 5 her in the face!

No, nor can I. Nor can I fathom why someone would hate an advert raising money for cancer research.

Along with the Haribo adverts, the two that annoy me the most at the moment are the Domino pizza one with the mouths and the woman body popping in the office after choosing some breakfast biscuit.

A couple of horrors I have seen recently:

For some teeth whitening toothpaste and there are two women with massive mouths covered in red lipstick grinning like lunatics. One woman has blonde hair and white skin and a massive red mouth.

A life insurance advert with a woman with children saying that she can't believe its been two years since their dad died and is almost ecstatic that she got £100,000 from his life insurance. She makes a comment like 'oh well, life goes on'. She is working in a flower shop and can barely hide her glee that her husband has died and she got that money.

Stupid women going on about make up and one saying that the mascara is like a 'faux eyelash' then when they find out what make up it is, one of them is all "duh, I sooo didn't even think".

Two women standing in a kitchen and one of them is the other ones mother saying about how she has taken out a funeral plan or life insurance and the daughter is stood there all insipid going "oh mum".

Who thinks up this rubbish?

And playing that rubbish tune. I bet they had to pick that one as the demo because speech recognition has this special function where every time you show it off to anyone it automatically Rickrolls you.

See also people's inadvertently public arguments with ocortanasirigugle 'no I said weather not whipper' plus or minus 'no look my browser history is empty'.

The younger one was in Coronation Street years ago. She's obviously a failed actress.

No, nor can I. Nor can I fathom why someone would hate an advert raising money for cancer research.
And I can't fathom why someone can't fathom why someone would hate a cancer research ad. I hate that ad. So what?

This IS an annoying ad thread. Did you not realise that?

I DO find that ad annoying. And so I said so on this thread.

How odd that you don't get it.

I am sick to death of begging ads, and the cancer research one is no exception. On an annoying ad thread; I am quite entitled to say this FGS. And you must be on crack if you think most of the money goes to charity in question.

Horrendous. The woman is ugly anyway, but becomes even worse after the weird CGI.

Those women look f-king stupid, with their massive mouths and their stupidly white teeth!

And the insurance ad! OMG!
